La conciencia y la novela

With the characteristic amusement and humor of all his novels, David Lodge provides us with a pleasant and highly instructive book that is destined to become a reference work for literature students, budding writers and anyone who wants to know the gear of the novels. Taking as a pretext writers as diverse as Charles Dickens, EM Forster, Evelyn Waugh, Kingsley and Martin Amis, Henry James, John Updike or Philip Roth, David Lodge offers us a systematic, comprehensive and comprehensive description of stylistic resources and narrative methods through which novels convey their meanings and have the effects they have on readers. Above all, how the discoveries in Artificial Intelligence, neuroscience and evolutionary biology have renewed and revolutionized the way in which both the writer and the reader approach the language of the novel.
